@MassExodus This is the Brachy that was sold to me as a male, but we think is female. I know ventral sexing isn't guaranteed but I figured I'd try anyway now that's she's grown.

Still looks female. Looks female. Show me a clear shot of her next molt, and I'll confirm it. A clear shot though ;) I use a microscope at home. There are other members that vent sex better than me though...and I've been wrong quite a few times vent guessing my own spiders.

Looks very male to me. Brachy females have the most "obvious" vaginas in the hobby, lol. You can see this dudes penis a mile away! He hit puberty early. His fusillae is all over the place, lol!!! Trim! Trim! Trim! I would be thinking about getting a female and breeding them when he matures. :) Curly hairs are common but they are still very sweet....and I love how fuzzy they are.
